I have a question. Why is that Liverpool say Gerrard is unfit to play, yet the England camp insists that they check him over too. - However, Fergie says no to Rooney and Rio and no one bats an eye lid?


Really wound me up this morning. The lad needs to rest and recouperate yet the FA insist that he travels to London. Joke! There's no way that he'd let the club stop him from playing for his country (although I wish he would).


Get internationals out of the domestic season which would then shorten it by a month. Then if they insist on wrecking our players whilst on International duty, they will have the summer to recover.

Oh I expect they enjoy persecuting Scousers. I see you highlight the Man Utd players again and fail to mention the Chelsea ones.


Poor Stevie G had to drag himself - probably on a National Express bus? - ALL the way to London. I notice that unlike Rooney, Rio and the other shirker you forgot to mention, Wes Brown, Stevie managed a full 90 minutes this weekend, but suprise he isn't available for the England team.

Funny how you've been fairly quiet so far this season - I can't imagine why.


I didn't mention Chelsea as Terry got the same treatment as Gerrard. Funnily enough he's been ruled as fit to play. Gerrard had surgery for his ailment and it's a problem that LFC medics and now England specialists have confirmed.


Stop taking everything as a personal dig at United. Ferguson does this all the time, and the one time Rafa refuses a player he's checked.

To be honest, I can see Capello's point, as he felt Gerrard could of had that op in the summer, but instead he started the season then had the op during an international break.


I do think he friendlies are a bit naff, but at the same time, he needs to build a team, and I for one love international footie, and want to see the team do well.


I've said it before, but if they want less fixtures, get rid of some of the pointless european games, or don't have such a long break between the group and knock out stages, so it's more spread out.

Gerrard didn't have that problem in the summer, which is why he didn't have it done then.


Clubs pay a players wages, so why shouldn't they decide when a player has something fixed? The FA make a lot of money out of the

International team and it is often at the expense of the players' employers, be it Liverpool, United or whoever.

Expense? That's exactly the problem, It's all down to bloody money. I'm just old fashioned I guess, but international football should be the very peak for players and clubs. Clubs outside the top 4 still seem proud to have an international player in their ranks, and that is how it should be! I'll bow to your knowledge over Gerrard's op, but I thought the whole arguement was around the timing?

I've been quiet this season because I couldn't be bothered with the Liverpool love-in this place had become and constantly being accused of picking on you Annasfield.


I think you'll find that after the two games this season we have lost (only two and our season is over and Liverpool are champions elect) I was on here and posted! Personally I am quite happy with the way things are going (apart from the loss to Liverpool of course) as they were saying on MotD it's not only Arsenal who have great youngsters coming through.


As far as the Gerrard thing goes, he is constantly doing this same thing, he only ever seems to be fit for full Internationals and is always 'injured' for friendlies (I'm not saying he is the only one, I am sure there are examples of United, Arsenal (do they have any England players ;)) and Chelsea players who have a similar record). I think it's a good thing. I thought that the new idea was that if you were called up you went along, got assessed and then got sent back to your club if you weren't fit. I don't know why Rooney, Rio etc. weren't forced to report. If they had have been I wouldn't have complained, I don't think there's some sort of conspiracy against Liverpool and their oh so fragile players and I don't think that it'll do Gerrard any harm. I doubt that the England backroom boys were getting him to hop up and down on the spot on broken glass.


Oh and I started a new job where fannying around on the computer isn't as easy as the last one :-$

I couldn't be bothered with the Liverpool love-in this place had become


Surely more a Spurs love-in?


I am gutted, was going to be going to Anfield for the first time in AGES this weekend, only for work to suddenly decide to give us our backdated pay increases a month later than they'd announced, so alas, I can't afford it :'( Still, hopefully the pool will pick up the points against Fulham.


I didn't really bother with the match on Wednesday, but kind of wish I had. By all accounts an impressive show by some of the fringe / young players, and nice to see the England manager playing a friendly like a proper match. I think the reason everyone has totally gone off friendlies is down to the whole using 9 subs and changing most of the team at half time. What can that really show anyone?


Interesting outburst from Gallas in the news, wonder which 25 year old player he is talking about?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
